CASS’ Indigenous Education Gathering is joining Explore Edmonton’s Carbon Neutral Events Program, reflecting a commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. Rooted in Indigenous teachings, the program aligns with the principle of reciprocity – giving back to the land and ensuring its well-being for future generations. Indigenous knowledge emphasizes living in harmony with nature, and this program provides a meaningful way to honour that wisdom while reducing the event’s environmental impact. CASS’ participation in the program further supports this year’s theme of reconciliation, integrating Indigenous approaches to stewardship into broader sustainability initiatives.
